THE RECORD
THE LABELS
THE WHITE LABELS ARE IN TOP CONDITION SHOWING NO STAINS OR MARKS AND NO LOSS OF COLOUR. THE TYPEFACE IS EQUALLY PRISTINE AND ALL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE IS ONE VISIBLE SPIDER LINE BY THE SPINDLE HOLE
THE VINYL
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL IS IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION AND HAS NOT LOST ANY OF ITS ORIGINAL LUSTRE.
IN DAYLIGHT IT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS.
UNDER SPOTLIGHTS IT STILL LOOKS PRISTINE
THE TEST PLAY
THIS VINYL PLAYS ABSOLUTELY SUPERBLY. THE FIRST THING TO MENTION IS THE TOTAL LACK OF ANY DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING THAT WHAT LITTLE PLAY THE ALBUM HAS RECEIVED WAS COMPLETED ON A SYSTEM THAT HAD A CORRECTLY WEIGHTED AND UNWORN STYLUS
THE CLARITY OF THE STEREO PRODUCTION IS JUST SUPERB, AND EVERY NOTE IS HEARD EXACTLY AS WAS INTENDED
THIS DISC PLAYS WITHOUT ANY BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER, AND NO LOUD CLICKS
NO EMBEDDED VINYL NOISE
SILENT LINKING GROOVES AND QUIET PASSAGES
A FANTASTIC VIRTUALLY UNPLAYED COPY OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM
TAKE A LISTEN TO IT AND YOU WILL HEAR FOR YOURSELF JUST HOW SUPERB IT IS
I AM MORE THAN HAPPY TO GRADE THIS AUDIO AS MINT
JUDGE IT FOR YOURSELF THOUGH
